About

Atmospheric, philosophical, and subliminally smooth - Alfa Mist’s revelatory sophomore album solidified the pianist and producer as one of the driving forces in British jazz’s new wave. Structured around illuminating samples of conversations about mental health and relationships, Alfa Mist crafted a beautifully introspective record that deftly incorporates elements of soul and hip-hop into his melancholic contemporary jazz compositions.

Featuring a handful of brand new, never-before-heard tracks (alongside a number of expansions of previous releases), Recurring sees Alfa drawing inspiration from classic live Jazz recordings, capturing a unique moment in time that can never be replicated or replayed. Creating an authentic, unpolished and electric feel, feeding his long-running mission of real-time musical expressions that evolve with each performance. On the genesis of the record, Alfa says: "Some of my favourite albums are captured live performances. I came home from a long year of touring and decided to work on some music for Amika Quartet who I've been working with for years on a few different shows and projects. A lot of the music I release is recorded in whole takes, I think there's something nice about doing the best you can with the moments you have. I wanted to take that one step further by recording it as a live show and seeing what happens.'’ — (via Label)
